POSTcArd2011News from Temple UniversityRome Campus

Dear Alumni, Faculty and Friends:

Welcome to the 2011 issue of Postcard and our annualreview of Temple University Rome news and events!

Our feature article highlights the many achievements ofTemple Rome librarian and cultural liaison Pia Candinas,who will retire in December after 38 years at TempleUniversity Rome. Pia’s work in the library, and as organizer of the art and culture lecture series, hascontributed enormously to the Temple Rome program over nearly four decades. Literally thousands of studentshave benefitted from Pia’s dedication, as well as theattention and care she has provided to Temple Romestudents and faculty since 1973.

In March, Italy celebrated the 150th anniversary of theItalian State, and Temple Rome students and facultycommemorated the event in a variety of ways. In addition to several class projects (see the Digital Photography articleon page 5), the spring 2011 Art and Culture Lecture Series,organized by Pia, focused on the anniversary.

In Philadelphia, Temple Rome faculty member SharaWasserman curated two exhibitions to celebrate the 150thanniversary of Italian unity, which were sponsored by theConsulate General of Italy in Philadelphia, TempleUniversity Rome and Crane Arts Center. Italian video artistGrazia Toderi exhibited Red Orbits, presented at theVenice Biennale in 2009, and Italy: Philadelphia ArtistsCelebrate 150 Years, presented by a group of artists ofItalian descent or with a strong connection to Italy.

It’s hard to believe that Temple University has been in Italyfor nearly one third of the State of Italy’s 150 year history.Italy, and Rome in particular, continues to be a wonderfulsite for our program, providing distinctive learningexperiences in and beyond the classroom.

Pia moved to Rome in 1973, and with her National Swiss Degreein Library Sciences and a firm command of five languages, soonbegan working at Temple University Rome. The Rome campushad about 60 students then, and the library, founded in 1966,consisted of some 4,000 volumes. Over the years, the number ofstudents increased to its current level of 600 annually. Today, thelibrary holdings include about 18,000 volumes, supplementedby a varied collection of 550 Italian and European films. Thelibrary is also fully integrated into the Diamond catalog andelectronic resources of the central Paley Library on MainCampus in Philadelphia.

In addition to purchasing booksrequested by professors, Pia madeher personal choices. Today, theTemple Rome library emphasizesItalian and selected Europeanliterature, and also offers a solidselection of texts in psycho-analysis, aesthetic theory, Italianfeminism, French semiotics andpolitics, along with the coreholdings in art and art history.

The library also holds severaltreasures, including such rarebooks as one of the first printededitions of Letarouilly’s Edifices de Rome and Jim Dine’s illustratedtwo volumes of Tibetan plants, the famous Nolli maps of Rome,

as well as those of Furtaz and Lanciani. “We own all of Pastor’stwenty-four volumes of The History of the Popes, Gregorovius’sHistory of Rome, most Italian historians and philosophers inEnglish, and nearly all the known texts of classical literature inthe original Greek or Latin and in English translation, tomention only a few gems,” Pia enthusiastically recounts.

Pia explains, “Being Temple Rome’s librarian coincides with myown cultural and artistic interests in contemporary art, cinemaand literature, philosophy and politics.” Those interests were not confined to the library. Pia has also written articles onculture, literature, art, and feminism for Il Manifesto, animportant daily newspaper, and was one of the founders of theCentro Culturale Virginia Woolf, the Women’s University inRome. These experiences nourished her work at Temple Rome’slibrary, as she organized lectures and encounters in support ofthe work of professors and students.

Pia’s work in film during her early years in Rome resulted infriendships with the Italian directors Bernardo Bertolucci, Nanni Moretti, and others. She appears in Moretti’s Ecce Bombo

Remembering Pia: Robert Flynt Reminisces

ia Candinas is the great “stealth teacher and cultural networker” of Temple Rome. I first met Pia in

the fall of 1975, as a bewildered, clueless, yet pretentious,art student who recently arrived in Rome for my junior yearabroad. Pia initially seemed an affable, sharp, and helpfullibrarian in the classic sense, which of course indeed she is,but I soon discovered she had a sharp wit, keen mind, andwas an extraordinary resource, way beyond the confines ofthe library. She shared her wide-ranging insight into thecontemporary cultural scene of Rome, Italy and beyond,gently disabusing me of naive American preconceptions. Our friendship deepened and evolved over the subsequent 30-plus years, when she was always the familiar, welcomingface on my various subsequent visits. I cannot imagine theplace without her.

Robert Flynt (Tyler, Temple Rome 1975-76 & 1978-79) is a NYC-based photographic artist, whose work has beenwidely exhibited in the U.S. and Europe, and included in many major public and private collections. He worksfrequently in collaboration with dance and performance;further information is at www.robertflynt.com.

Pia Candinas with members of The Orchestraof Piazza Vittorio, spring 2008

and Straub and Huillet’s Moïse et Aron. As DeanStrommen points out, “Pia’s many contacts with Rome’scultural life have been fundamental in her work asCultural Liaison, particularly in her lecture programming,and have added tremendously to the life and reputation ofTU Rome.” The first of these programs, in 1990, was called“Women’s Studies in Italy.” The success of these lectures bynoted Italian feminists gave TU more visibility in Rome, andinspired Pia to create a broader format which she called “Art andCulture in Italy.” Visiting lecturers have included internationallyprominent Italian artists such as Jannis Kounellis, Luigi Ontani,Enzo Cucchi, and Sandro Chia. The film viewings and talksdedicated to “Italian Cinema” were attended by the prominentfilmmakers Ettore Scola, Bernardo Bertolucci, Marco Bellocchio,the Taviani brothers and Nanni Moretti discussing their work.Writers, philosophers and journalists were invited next, amongwhom were Dacia Maraini, Gianni Riotta, Lucia Annunziata,Furio Colombo and Marco Travaglio. The members of TheOrchestra of Piazza Vittorio (see photo) explained their historyand music, and then performed a full concert. Pia recalls this as“the most sensational event ever.”

A special interest in contemporary art has led Pia to a productivecollaboration with the visual arts program. She has often partici-pated in mid-term and final student critiques and invited visitingartists to the art studios. For the TU gallery she has curated well-received exhibitions of Sandro Chia, Giuseppe Gallo, Marco Delogu, Paola Gandolfo and Christian Bonnefoi.

For Pia, the most important part of her work remains the humanand intellectual contact with students and faculty. Most importantto Pia are “the thousands of students I have met during my 38 years at TU Rome, with whom I have developed relationshipsof trust, friendship and professionalism. I still receive amusing and affectionate letters and cards from many of them. Well, I havelots of memories.” So does TU Rome. Thank you, Pia, for yourthirty-eight years of passion, commitment and service.

Pia’s many contacts with Rome’s

cultural life have been

fundamental in her work as

Cultural Liaison, particularly in

her lecture programming, and

have added tremendously to the

life and reputation of TU Rome.

DR. STEPHANIE FIORE, associate directorof the Teaching and Learning Centerand associate professor of ItalianStudies, facilitated a lively workshop,“What the Best College Teachers Do,”which promoted teaching methodsconsistent with research on how peoplelearn. TU Rome faculty thought theopportunity to talk with their colleaguesabout teaching was very valuable. Theyreflected on their work, shared andlearned from the experience and expertiseof their colleagues, identified personalareas for development, and expanded theirrepertoire of effective teaching strategies.

Dr. Fiore is committed to supportingfaculty develop new courses, designcommunity-based learning activities,create assessments, and implement bestinstructional practices.

Bannansays that “TU Rome once again shows us the qualitiesthat make it such a great institution, one where thefaculty, administration and staff are engaged andinterested in the intellectual and cultural world beyond

the campus gate. It producesalumni who remain involvedin the ‘life of the mind’throughout their lives, and continue to seek outopportunities to share the cultural richness of their Rome experience.” He adds, “Without a doubt, the year I spent at TU Rome was the most important andtransformative time of my entire academiccareer.”
